A striking image to mark play-off defeat

I picked up this newspaper while staying with relatives in Hertfordshire at the weekend. It’s the Watford Observer, covering on the front, as you might expect, the Play Off Final which saw Crystal Palace pip the Hornets to the Premier League in extra time.

I’ve posted it here because it struck me as being a really clever image – clearly one of the ones which sets the tone for the headline as well. And a nice change from the close up of a weeping fan.

And seeing the local MP paying for a front-page ad to promote a public meeting was a nice thing to see, too.
